Thanks but for us to make our own you need to be more specific. How long is the aluminium bar? How far apart are the hole, etc. There are no real info available in the video.

I will try to explain (pardon my bad English): You take the length that suit your needs. For the first one I recommend a length that fits into your drawing bag, let's say 25 cm. For the distance between the holes, use from 0,5 cm to 1 cm. The more holes you have, the more fine-tuned measurements you can make. The important part is that you have the same distance between each hole and that the two parts are exactly the same. Let's say that you draw big paintings with many details - then maybe it is better for You to have a really large tool, say 50 cm in length with around 1 cm between each hole. If you on the other hand draw really small and have a small drawing bag, then it may suit you better two have a tiny tool that is maybe 20 cm. When I decided how long the bar would be I took a length that fitted in my painting bag and since I mostly work with A4-sized papers I made the bar around 25 cm long. When I decided how far apart I would make the holes in the aluminum bar I did not want to make the bar too fragile but in the same time I wanted as many options as possible - so I just picked a distance between 0,5 to 1 cm.
